ITINERARY

Day One

When you land in Phnom Penh, the hustle bustle of the city does not leave you behind. No one will ever guess the atrocities the streets had witnessed barely twenty years ago. What greets you is the breathing of a growing city hungry to catch up with the rest of the world! Your First day begins in Phnom Penh. After checking into the hotel, we freshen up and get our taste of authentic Cambodian cuisine. Post lunch, we explore the Royal Palace and the Wat Phnom before settling down for an evening around town.

Day Two

We board the bus to Siem Reap. In this six hour journey, be assured of interesting sights including a rest stop where fried tarantulas are served as a snack option (a local delicacy)! Once we reach Siem Reap, check into your charming accommodations. After freshening up, remainder of the day is free for you to enjoy the town! Be sure to try the Khmer massage and the night markets!

Day Three

Get prepared to be templed out!  We get an early start to visit the largest temple in the world – Ankor Vat! After  which (depending on when we finish Ankor Wat), we visit Ankor Thom which will include the Bayon temple, Baphuon, Royal Palace, Terraces of Elephants and Leper King. We can see the sunset at Phnom Bakheng before retiring back to the hotel for the rest of the evening! We recommend you try the local Khmer massage for the perfect sleep at night (In fact we recommend this every night)!

Day Four

Be ready to exercise those muscles! We do the Grand tour (Preah Khan temple, Neak Pean temple, Tasom temple, and East Mebon temple) of the temples with sunset at Pre Rup before retiring for the remaining part of the day for dinner and sleep. If time permits, we suggest you try the foot reflexology! It is divine especially after the entire day of walking and climbing!

We are back in Phnom Penh after our bus journey from Siem Reap. Post lunch, we will visit the Toul Sleng Genocide museum and the Killing fields to get a glimpse of the horrific Cambodian past. Strongly interwoven to the Cambodian culture, it is a heavy walk through history. If you feel you may want to skip this, feel free to explore the markets and the famous Quay! We will then proceed to the river cruise for a lovely evening ride along with dinner.
